Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Tip 2: If you want to make a big batch, Millet Porridge freezes well. Portion it out and freeze in freezer-safe containers for easy breakfasts later.
  • Tip 3: This porridge pairs beautifully with nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for added crunch and nutrition.
  • Tip 4: Consider adding spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a different flavor profile and extra warmth.
  • Tip 5: It’s best enjoyed warm, as the texture and flavors meld beautifully when heated.
